Salmo Bullhead 4.5cm 1–2m 5g Bullhead

Salmo Bullhead 4.5cm — The Classic Sculpin Imitator

Since 1991, the Salmo Bullhead has set the standard for sculpin imitation lures. Hand-crafted in Poland from ultra-durable High Density Space-Aged Foam (HDSF), this 4.5cm sinking crankbait delivers irresistible action that triggers strikes from brown trout, perch, chub, and other predators in rivers and lakes.

Unmatched Realism and Action

The Bullhead's sculpin-mimicking profile and swimming motion fool even the wariest fish. Its polycarbonate lip drives a tight wobble at depths of 1–2m, while the sinking action lets you work pockets, drop-offs, and structure with precision. Every lure is tank-tested and hand-tuned before leaving the factory, so it swims perfectly straight out of the package.

Built to Last Season After Season

Constructed from Salmo's proprietary HDSF body with thru-wire construction welded at the ends, the Bullhead withstands countless strikes and rocky encounters. The durable polycarbonate lip and USA-made split rings ensure reliable performance, while the hand-painted finish maintains its appeal even after extended use.
